Part 1: What is the incenter of a triangle? Part 2: Where is the incenter located in relation to the triangle? I know part one is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle meet I am confused though of the second part. Would it be the point of congruency?
In relation to the triangle, the incenter will always be outside (in the exterior of) the triangle, on the triangle, or inside (in the interior of) the triangle. Draw a triangle, sketch the three angle bisectors and make an informed guess about where the incenter will always be found. Point of concurrency is the point of intersection of 3 or more segments or whatevers with a common point.
Post your guess and I'll tell you if your answer agrees with mine.
One of these three: In relation to the triangle, the incenter will always be outside (in the exterior of) the triangle, on the triangle, or inside (in the interior of) the triangle.
@ASLCBH What is taking so long? :)
I'm sorry, my computer was acting up. I'm going to guess the inside of the triangle because my teacher told me it would "always" be the inside.
Correct. I understand about the computer problem. Usually, mine runs slowly because of scripts. Now, my mail program on OS and my profile page won't "work."
